GRAND MARAIS, MINNESOTA

January 8, 2017

The continued arctic blast created wind chills of -20 so consequently sea smoke has been forming over Lake Superior all week. The Gott is anchored outside of Two Harbors waiting its turn to load iron ore. A lone bald eagle is flying over the lighthouse.

This flock was eating grit along the road. I sat on the ground and waited for a car to pass by. When the car came the flock flew right over my head. I have never seen so many waxwings as what was in town this week.
